Never give out your full name, address, passwords, or family member's names online.
Although there is always some risk in posting information online, it is ok to post information that does not give away personal details, like your age, school, contact information, or any information that might lead someone to figure out who you are.
If you feel uncomfortable in a chat room, exit immediately.
Stay as anonymous as possible when online, and ignore or report people who make suggestive comments or threats.
Never agree to meet someone in person who you met online. LMIRL means let's meet in real life.
Internet predators use many tactics such as flattery, gifts, affection, or even threats to lure their victims.
Never open any files from an e-mail address you don't know because they could be viruses.
When in a chat room, use a screen name different from your user name, so you can exit the chat room at any time without worrying about someone being able to track you down.
Your screen name should not include any personal information, such as your name, address, age, or school. An example of a bad user name would be NatanyaPioneeer2010. A good user name would be bookworm222.
